American Legacies Org Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving historical information about People, Places, and Things.
This is a FREE service where you can post and share the memories, stories and photographs of your parents, grand-parents and other loved ones, in order to preserve their LEGACIES for future generations.
Most of the time when researching your families, you find information which has been provided by others. This information can be found as notes left at your genealogical or historical society or library, published information which was taken from other records, (such as church or cemetery records), or actual published genealogies. All of this information is valuable, although care must be taken in accepting some of this data.

His face underwent an incredible metamorphosis as I entered the room.
I knew from the nurse’s note that he suffered from a painful and swollen knee, and as I drew back the examining room's curtain, his appearance fit such a man. He was about seventy years old, and his wizened visage was drawn up into a grimace that seemed to have been there long enough to carve deep furrows into his face and brow.
From 1908 Cookbook
God’s Recipe and Ours
God has a recipe for everyone,
I am sure there is one for you.
Take 15 minutes the first of each day,
To lay on Him your burden as you pray.
Use a lot of His love as you open your heart
To the need of others about.
It will sweeten each hour, give strength for each task
And drive all bitterness out.
